Default what to patch heated seat coil with?

Passenger heated seat works good. On the driver side, the heating element broke where it goes under the cushion wire (common wear problem). Ok, so I patched it with a jumper wire years ago. I think it was like 18AWG - huge compared to the element wire. I used insulated wire and I added heat shrink tubing to it so it would not conduct to the seat cushion wire. I thought the big wire would heat less, but I got a hot spot there. It actually got hot enough to melt the foam in an area about the size of a shooter marble. So what is the right way to patch the heating element?
